![Into the Unknown [Remastered] | A Critical Examination of Over the Garden Wall](/img/n.gif)
Have you seen Over The Garden Wall?
I saw one episode and I liked it
Yeah loved it one of my favorite cartoons ever
YES THANK YOU, FINALLY!!
I can play the opening tune on the piano.
Watched it when it first came out but it quickly went off air to make way for things like regular show and adventure time. Watched it online last year when I saw your video on it tho
The Beast was one of the scariest animated villains since the Lich
Ever seen courage the cowardly dog?
Fear of the unknown. Because we don't entirely see what the Beast is it leads to viewer to fill on the gaps ultimately with something more scary
The same guy created both!
@@josealcazar2922 I mean to be fair the second they DO show him is still pretty freaky lol
Honestly i find him more unerving than the lych.
I feel like these facts should also be on the iceberg.
1. The show was originally supposed to be 18 episodes, but it was cut due to budgetary restraints.
2. Some cut episodes include:
- “Ivory” with a man named mr. whittles who made dice out of the teeth and bones of children he kidnapped
- episode featuring a skinless witch who kidnaps Greg while the brothers are asleep
- multiple episodes where the boys have been turned into animals!
may I ask how do you know that? like is it from the comics or can those episodes be watched anywhere? because I'd love to
Man, now I really want Mr Whittles
FROG GREG FROG GREG FROG GREG
@@alba7741 its in the art book, and also some of these ideias are in the comics
I wish they could have done them all, would have made the journey even better
Am I the only one who thinks Wirt looks like an Animal crossing villager lol
I thought he looked familiar! 🤣
I'm so glad I wasn't the only one who thought this
I thought he looked kinda like a raggedy ann doll. (Like with the eyes, nose, and the clothes a little bit.)
I actually have a shirt with Wirt, Greg, Beatrice, and the frog as animal crossing characters..
It's probably because of the nose
Dude Elijah Wood is such an OG- He's like Daniel Radcliffe in that hes basically set for life from LOTR, but he still loves acting _so_ much, so he chooses these roles other blockbuster stars would normally pass on.
A kid in a folksy purgatory? A talking dancing penguin? The Guy in Spy Kids 3?? All done after his time with LOTR. This man is a gem.
He also does a lot of video game voice acting!
Man, as someone only a few years younger than Elijah Wood, I know him from a TON of things. I honestly kind of forget about the Lord of the Rings series.
He also does quite a bit of horror cinema as well. He’s a pretty cool guy
He doesn’t star, but he also produced this crazy freaking movie called the Greasy Strangler.
And don't forget Kevin the Cannibal in Sin City, also after LoTR.
My favorite voice actor is that of The Beast’s. It’s so deep, but actually sounds like it someone’s real voice as opposed to that forced scratchy deep voice that fuckboys try and replicate.
Oh my lord and his singing is so *haunting,* man. It’s comforting and desolate at the same time.
The Beast is actually voiced by (imho) one of the greatest operatic basses who's ever lived, Samuel Ramey. He played Don Giovanni in the 1990 Metropolitan Opera production of Don Giovanni -- one of my favorites. Here's a link of him in his element >> czcams.com/video/Ioc9shJa_lI/video.html . He also played Mephistopheles in The Damnation of Faust, it's one of the many operas I would give an arm, a leg, and my firstborn to have seen in person.
@@ThatMackieGirl yeah, he’s great! It’s crazy how a voice can be so intimidating and soothing at the same time. I feel like if I were to get lost in the woods (such as the boys did) he wouldn’t try and save me but rather comfort me and usher me softly into death.
Fuckboys?
@@skeletonentertainment4201 same question
@@ThatMackieGirlOne of the best choices IMO that OTGW made was having so many voice actors that were singers as well. The frog (ofc), the Beast, Enoch, the Tailor, and the Highwayman to name a few, are all very prominent American singers, with a lot of them having folk roots. This in my opinion perfectly works with the Americana the show is littered with--it's such a small detial, but it adds so much.
"You probably remember Elijah Wood from Lord Of The Rings-"
Me, very cultured:
Happy Feet and Happy Feet 2 👀👀
Don't forget he also voiced 9
And he also voiced spyro in the legend series.
Me, who knows him from Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency-
@@gdinneroll lol the worst dirk gently imo. I like Stephen Mangan's dirk a LOT more.
Avalon
my middle school history teacher's nephew voiced gregg! it was really wild to learn that
You can't convince me that's true but that's insane if so
ain’t that just the way
@@jcstrikesagain684 haha
@@milkshakegd I don't see how it is so bizarre. The only relation they have to a teacher is being a student.
That reminds me of when I learned that my 3rd grade teacher's cousin wrote the hunger games!
Little late but The Clarence universe thing is there because Wirt and Greg actually make an obscure cameo in Clarence in the background as silhouettes in the woods
Yeah I saw that, it was really cool even if it was hard to see
WHAT
There's also an aerial shot of the town in both shows that looks like the same exact shot but with very minor differences
What episode is it in???
@@chickencheese9913 I think it was called “Lil' Buddy”, You can barely see it in the forest scene.
Sorry, Jason Funderburker is still the absolute best name. Feel free to hate me :')
I think the same
Ah yes. A frog commits identity theft.
I named my two cats Jason fundenberg
lovely night
Like duh 😂
As a side note, the Highwayman’s dancing looks a lot like Early 20th Century American “Voodoo” Dancing, popularized by Cab Calloway, that usually went along with Swing or Ragtime. If you want to look into it, there are examples that go along with the songs St. James Infirmary and Minnie the Moocher.
Both great songs
That's what it reminds me of!! My brain was working over time to figure that one out
The highwayman dancing is rotoscoped so it's straight up the actual dance
@@peckenhamm123 I don't think it was actually rotoscoped, but just drawn to look as if it was, which is even cooler!
omgg that song reminded me of st james infirmary so much
I love this show so much there’s just something about it, no other show has ever hit the same. It’s a shame that not more people know about it. Whenever I mention it nobody ever knows what I’m talking about :(
I understand you completely! I managed to show it to my sisters and some friends, and now that I work, I showed it to my students, they loved it!
I knoooow. I only watched it bc this one CZcamsr I liked talked about it and I had literally never heard about it before that
Worst thing about this show-It ends!
Lol i binged watch over the garden wall eps, when i found out that it has 10 eps, and i didnt regret it, i love it
Nah this show hits like Tim burton movies
I’m a more recent fan of Over the Garden Wall and I just want to say no other cartoon has made me feel so sucked in to the world. I love everything about the show including the art style, story, characters, and overall just the feeling that it has. Of course I would love more Over the Garden Wall content but I appreciate that they ended the series when they did and didn’t draw it out. Sorry for my little TED Talk I just needed to express how much I love this cartoon.
I think a spin-off would be so cool!
Gravity falls, courage the dog, coraline, spirited away, and little nightmares gave similar atmospher to otge
Don't be sorry! You perfectly articulated why many people love this show. I re-watch it a couple times a year.
No need to b sorry i personally lile comments like this
I watched it for the first time at a halloween sleepover in 2021 and since then its a yearly tradition to watch it. Im from south africa so halloween isnt nearly as big a holiday as it is in the US for example so having this show feels like my very own little nugget of the spooky season.
Tome is pronounced with a long o, it rhymes with gnome not tomb. A tome is an archaic book of knowledge not a tomb.
skipper doesnt do enough research for his vids, but he still does good
@@user-gu1ed1kb8x This isn't research just a linguistic miscommunication.
@@RinandStyx wasn't referring to solely this instance but ok
@@user-gu1ed1kb8x that’s fine, Your statement just didn’t apply my dude 👍
@@RinandStyx it did tho my dude 😳👉👈
I love the idea of The Unknown being purgatory and I actually thought the show’s creators meant for this. One episode in particular that set this idea is the Potsfield episode. When Wirt bumps into the girl pumpkin/skeleton she doesn’t think he’s not suppose to be there just that he was too early. (Not decomposed yet). Also on the last episode where the woodsmen gets to see his daughter is when I believe he was finally able to pass over and finally reunite with her. Her being able to pass over because she didn’t hold any ill will towards her father and had no regrets where her father had to stay in The Unknown due to the fact that he couldn’t accept that she was gone and was duty bound to the Beast. I love this show so much and always watch it in the fall seasons at least twice ❤️🥰
Wrong, the Unknown is not Purgatory it's a physical dimension which the Beast rules and Wirt and Greg physically go there through the portal in the lake they fall into.
The people in the Unknown don't go to Heaven because the Unknown is a physical place they live in.
No, Anna never died because she ran away from the Beast before she would be harmed. The Woodsman never went home because he couldn't stand seeing his daughter's things and he thought he lost her.
The Beast literally says that, "All who perish here become trees for the lantern." Which means that the Edelwood trees are made from dead people not just children.
@@Super50ldier this is a really interesting way to interpret the show that I didn’t think of , but it still makes sense with the lake being a portal and Anna not dying but actually escaping the beast. I’m super curious to what you think the people within the tavern are with regarding your theory! Are they toys made into npcs made by the beast? Or are they lost souls as well? Does that mean that all the characters in the unknown are lost souls or just other members of this dimension along side with the beast? Really love your theory!
i think greg is good at navigating the unknown because of both his childhood innocence and because he does deep down have somewhat of a recollection of it. its often said that very young children have one foot in the spirit world, and also are more likely to remember details about their past lives. i think the unknown is a purgatory that people in over the garden wall are then literally or figuratively reborn from if they can overcome their flaws and purify their souls, depending on if they enter truly dead or not.
I serously thought this came out years ago because like no one talks about over the garden wall😄
Same 😭😭 i was shocked when i found out it came out in like 2014
@@jayleejeez3621 WAIT REALLY
@@kokohashi YEA I THOUGHT IT CAME OUT LIKE TO THE LEAST 2016 BUT NO IT CAME OUT IN 2014 I WAS SO SHOCKED LMFAOOW
@@jayleejeez3621 I THOUGHT LIKE 2013 OR 2016
It did come out years ago 😅 7 years ago
I really don't think they all die at the end i think they all return to their own timelines... like the unkown is a crossroads in time??
I saw somewhere that someone had a theory similar to the “Greg has been to The Unknown before” one, but even stranger!
In short; in the Cloud City episode, Greg’s wish to the cloud queen was basically to go back in time and repeat their experience in The Unknown. It’s suggested that a “previous” experience had mistakes and perhaps they weren’t able to help everyone. Greg wished to go back, and knew what to do this time; hence why he is so calm and carefree about almost everything in the version of events we see.
Seems like a weird theory to me, but thought I’d share it anyways.
Explains him randomly putting candy on Wirt's cape
that actually makes sense but i dont think its right
he wished to speak to the Beast didn't he? To try to outsmart him
@@IdeaSeeker I always thought he wished to trade places with Wirt.
The Highwayman's dancing is based on Cab Calloway's appearances in old Betty Boop cartoons. He really did dance Like That, they rotoscoped him in and it's rad as hell.
Also the old Black Train is a fairly old concept in americana, said to take lost souls to the afterlife. Just thought that worth mentioning since it got its own mention on the iceberg!
I have the OtGW artbook, and while it states in there that they wanted the turtles and their meaning to be somewhat obscured, the book also calls Auntie Whispers a "sin eater" of sorts, which is interesting given that she collects and eats the black turtles. If you look closely at her, her mouth and teeth are black, and her teeth are also...not in the best condition. So it seems like while her task is important, it's also taking a physical toll on her.
quincy endicott and margueritte grey were buried next to each other in the cemetery too. to the right of quincy’s headstone you can see the period-accurate 1700s style unnamed skull headstone, which would have been placed during the same time that the french rococo style decor was gaining popularity. their mansions are connected to each other in the unknown because their burial plots are connected. furthering the idea that the unknown is a symbol for the afterlife/purgatory.
The Unknown is not purgatory, it's an real and physical dimension they went to and the Beast rules the woods and followed them because he's the antagonist and not Satan himself, the Beast is just a demon.
The hat is a “Dunce hat” giving incite to Wort’s character. I mean damn. He sits in the dunce box.
Into the Unknown shows him ripping white cotton puffs off the brim, it used to be a Santa hat is whats implied
@@Eflores235it's still the perfect shape of a dunce hat
Wirt’s cape is actually a World War II nurse’s cape
I definitely see the resemblance but there was clearly a Union Bugle boy hat
Civil war cape actually
This is probably one of my favorite cartoon network shows that they've ever made. I remember when it first came out I saw the name of the show thrown around on youtube and wanted to watch it but never got around to it. Last year I decided to give it a go and I watched it after 6 years. I'm so glad I never watched it when it first aired because I would've been too young to truly appreciate the entirety of the show. This show truly gives you a new perspective on life and I wish they would make more shows like it.
Part of the reason I love this animation so much is because how well they nailed the New England setting. I've lived in a relatively rural part of New England for most of my life and the overall feel of the show just reminds me so much of autumns of years past.
I think Over The Garden Wall is a masterpiece
The Beast being a wendigo makes sense, but I do want to point out that wendigo don't have antlers in the original Algonquin legends. That was made up by Algernon Blackwood, who was not Indigenous
I think the thing about Greg being familiar with the unknown makes sense if you think about reincarnation. Babies could be seen as souls from heaven, hell or purgatory that just got reincarnated so it would make sense why a child would be more familiar with the unknown. It's something they've more recently experienced compared to a teenager or adult.
Greg could actually be twelve years old since Raph from Transformers Prime looked like a child but he was twelve.
CN really did do Wirt dirty. Mass producing and selling his private cassette tapes
The backstory on Fred the horse is kind of interesting to me. Especially when he tells the judge about the highway man. The story seems comical (as y'know, talking horse), but it is also interesting in the sense that in some states in the U.S. there is an old law where horses can act as legitimate witnesses to crimes. Granted I'm not sure how that law actually works in court as it has probably never been used since cars became common.
Even if it was mere coincidence, it's still a neat one when you know weird old timey laws.
Woah really??? That’s crazy
I'm personally hesitant to equate the Beast with Satan, but perhaps it's just a personal thing (I really don't like the balck/white morality of good/evil). I more see him as the personafication of decay, entropy, a force of nature that we all fight against. This series is very meaningful to me, I often remember it in my darker moments. The Beast's song especially: "Sorrow and pain is easily forgotten, if you submit to the soil of the earth" - so reassuring and comforting, but in those moments of darkness, it helps me to remember, that I should not fight for this comfort, but against it.
He’s not satan
Hey, guess what? You just described Satan. Lol
@@christophermihaly7029 Mm no boy
@@christophermihaly7029 where is satan described like that. quickly
@@Andrew_Rullman
Yes he did
Also, my favorite voice actor was the guy who did Fred the Horse... "I wanna steal..." Af for the turtles, I always saw them as the embodiment of "danger" or "evil," and when Auntie Whispers eats them, she's keeping Lorna safe from the danger (which is why her teeth have rotted away - the evil has rotted her teeth). When they infest a living creature, the creature turns evil, and characters throughout the series are always trying to keep the danger/evil away by getting rid of the turtles. I'm very open to being wrong, though.
Huh. I never thought of it that way
@@bluxcid1620 Haha, I'm definitely not sure about this theory! :D
Funny enough Fred the Horse is played by Fred Stoller lol
@@SmittenKitten. This is right, the racoon grabs one and throws it away in the School episode! for the delight of Greg
@@luisrods Yes! I noticed that too!
I remember avoiding spoilers for this show like the plague, because I had a feeling it would be something special when I first learned of it and I wanted to go in as blind as possible. Pretty much the only things I knew going in were the names of the brothers and the bird, the lost-in-the-woods aspect, that there was an antagonist called The Beast, and that Elijah Wood was involved.
Does anyone else randomly listen through the soundtrack of this series when they just want to escape the world?
i found the show through the songs, the blasting company was recommended to me on spotify and i loved the songs found out they were from a show that i ignored as a kid lol
escapism prevents you from growing as a person and facing your problems.
@@GribbleGob
Maybe if you do it all the time, but sometimes a little escapism can help you feel better in bad situations that are unavoidable
How do you guys feel about the ruler of cloud city being the Beast? Haven't seen anyone say anything about it. But when Greg is talking with the Beast the Beast says "we had an agreement didnt we?" After Greg talks with the ruler of Cloud City.
I’ve just always thought that whole dream sequence was brought on by the beast to trick Greg into sacrificing himself
@@averyscott9467 I could definitely see that being the case!
@@averyscott9467 thats what i thought
And the little angels had red devil horned looking hair
The Queen of the Clouds is not the Beast, she's knew that the Beast claimed Wirt's soul so Greg sacrificed himself to the Beast to save his brother.
Another thing that shows the inspiration of Americana, and specially the location being New England is the music. Specifically in Pottsfield, the music they are singing is being sang in the Scared Harp style, and was clearly written in that style too. If you listen to the full version, they even do the Sacred Harp solfege before. All this to say, is that this music originated in New England and is prominent in early North American tradition. It still remains popular there as well as the South. (But there are even groups on the West coast that get together to sing this music.) Great video!
Tome of the Unknown. A Tome is a thick book...
Hell yea this is great, had no clue that John cleese and Tim curry were voice actors in this show. Learned a lot from this iceberg thank you!
I remember watching it when it first aired and I was hella obsessed, it also was the first cartoon that made me ball into tears.
8:55 I always thought about the fact the Fred the talking horse liked stealing showing by how he was convincing others to steal items from Quincy Endicott's Mansion. Yes almost all of them were gonna try to steal but only 2 pennies while fred got lost and tried to take other stuff. Him being a horse partnered with the fact that he likes stealing made it a perfect opportunity for the Highway Man
"I wanna steal"
This show came out on my birthday, and I distinctly remember when it came out and hearing the opening song and falling in love with everything this show had to offer, and as I rewatch it now as a young adult who adores storytelling and film, this is without a doubt one of the best animated shows I’ve ever seen.
Probably your best iceberg rare to get an iceberg someones passionate about.
All your icebergs are pretty good tho *cough* except disturbing games *cough* sorry I must be sick
Holy crap Halloween is coming early this year! Was hoping for something like this.
I'm somewhat annoyed about the labeling of Lewis Carrol, and the Grimm brothers as "old pieces of Americana" in 8:38.
Yeah I agree
frrrr
Came to comment on that 🤣
I convinced my 7 year old brother to be Greg this year for Halloween so I can be Wirt and I am so excited! I love this show
How did the costume go?
I never see anyone bring it up in these discussions, but the Beast's source of power is a lantern; the name Lucifer literally means "light bearer." You do the math.
I think they survived because they were being “chased” by the police and probably the officers saw them climb the wall and they went around the wall or climbed it and saw them fall in the water, or the train operator saw two kids fall in the water and notified someone to go check on them since he can’t stop the train to go save two kids. As for their journey in the unknown, I think their souls did go there but that was from the time they first became unconscious to waking up in the hospital. There is a saying that our souls leave our bodies when we sleep and maybe they go to other universe in other bodies and that’s our dreams. That’s what I like to believe.
The thing about the Beast being a Wendigo is that the Wendigo isn't actually a big werewolf-deer monster. In actual Anishinaabe folklore, it's an emaciated humanoid, sometimes even a giant made out of ice. The Beast doesn't exactly match that description
I'm friends with the brazilian voice actor for Greg!
Mattheus se você tá lendo isso agora, desculpa por te encher o saco pra cantar batatas e melado o tempo todo kkkk
nossa mas se fosse eu também ia querer ficar ouvindo HSJAHA que incrível sério
@@sofialindoso8904 a voz dele é mó grossa agora mas como ele é dublador dá pra afinar o tom e fica quase igual ao greg, é bem dahora
22:40 I wonder if Greg is used to the unknown because (maybe, I have no idea but I'm guessing lol) the Unknown isn't just a place for dead souls to go to or if it is, the only places to go to aren't just heaven or hell? Maybe since Greg is young he still kind of remembers being reincarnated or something and the unknown seems a bit more familiar to him
I rewatch Over the Garden Wall every Halloween with my friends. It's one of the only traditions I have, and I really hope it never stops :D
Me and my sister watched Over The Garden Wall all the way through for the first time today, i was not disappointed. Greatest series I’ve seen in a very long time.
This is my favorite show of all time! As for my favorite voice actor, there is no one more perfect for the role than Elijah Wood. I also love Chris Isaac and his song Patient is the Night is excellent and gets stuck in my head often
16:05
"too dark for the channel"
infinity train:
I almost screamed when I got recommended this video, I love the series so much!
I got my sister into wanting to watch it with the premise "Think of Gravity Falls, but not as many characters or episodes". She also loves the series now-
He keeps saying “tomb of the unknown” and my god does it grate my ears
To do with the after life theory: long story short I completely agree… if you listen to the song *Old Black Train* which plays in the pre penultimate episode where Greg and Wirt fall on the rail way tracks and first “enter” the unknown, the entire song is about passing into death. You don’t need a ticket it’ll take you in its time, where it goes you can’t come back from, and most importantly *come on now young stranger, you were someone’s son, why are you at this depot, it’s not where you belong*. Essentially the song sums up the entirety of the theory, they weren’t meant to die that day but they were on the ,quote on quote, “black train” passing through to death.
It's really obvious that The Beast is The Devil, hell, "The Beast" is a name for The Devil. It is really on the nose.
nice pfp
No. This show isn't religious in the slightest. I've seen bloggers and other youtubers drawing parallels between Dante's Inferno and OTGW and they miss the mark completely.
There is no deep, meaningful message beyond what's presented in the show. It's a story about two boys caught in a journey between life and death. The Beast is a folklore character much like east England's Lantern Man or Russia's Baba Yaga. He lures souls into the woods and when they're lost and have given up hope, claims them in the forest. It's a classic folklore tale inspired by early American settlers where their greatest threat wasn't religious in nature -- it was nature itself.
@@theaggressivesalesman2424 The Divine Comedy references are definitely intentional, I am not saying that the show is religious in nature nor do I know where you got the idea that that was what I was implying. If the Inferno references are as obvious as they are in the show it is safe to assume that the writers would take inspiration from one aspect of the poem, When Greg and Wurt go deeper into the unknown they end up in a snowy part of the woods which is very likely a reference to Inferno where Dante and Virgil go to the ninth circle of hell, a frozen lake. Dante and virgil see the devilin that place, similar to how Greg and Wurt end up finding the beast in the snowy place.
I'm not saying it is not inspired by American folklore too, because it is. But the decision to call the creature who scouts for souls in the deepest part of the unknown "The Beast" is very deliberate.
Since in the end it was revealed that the whole story was but a dream, i always thought the beast represented death and how it chased Wirt and Greg
I really like the interpretation of the black turtles, the witch, and Adalaide. I always thought it was just a simple reference to Spirited Away (while it could be both). Like the witch sisters, with one being good (Auntie Whispers, Zeniba), and the other being malicious (Adalaide, Yubaba) and the black turtles were similar to the little black, slime bug that kept Haku under Yubaba's control.
I love this video, i just rewatched OTGW, and all the little details you brought up make it such a better story! So well researched, but i was getting a little lost during the transitions between topics. Maybe including the graphic of the iceburg to show which layer youre moving to? Or having other text over the images to spell out what youll be expanding on next would help my ADHD brain create segments. 💕 looking forward to more!!
I remember after I finished the show, I went back and paused on the big bad in this story and was impressed how horrifying it was.
Omg thank you i was waiting for someone to do this
"Alot of depth on the surface-"
👁👄👁
The Highway Man's dance reminds me a lot of the dance scene in that old Betty Boop cartoon with Cab Calloway rotoscoped as a dancing, singing walrus.
Additionally, the dog's form with huge eyes reminds me of old illustrations of The Tinderbox by Hans Christian Anderson.
getting my over the garden wall tattoo in a month... so excited because I just love this series so much!! :) great vid!!
i binged the whole series this last halloween and hadnt thought too much about the lore until this video again ... i really enjoyed ur explaination !! tysm :-)
its been years and I decided to rewatch it. Such a good mini series.
Bless you, Doktor Skipper.
I'm at work, I'll watch this tonight!
I was waiting for you to talk about the comic lol.
Good video.
I love that you suggested watching this video while doing something productive which is exactly what I was doing as I worked on sewing a cape for my Wirt costume this Halloween!
Fun fact: I have the art book and it says the tavern people are actually trapped there. We never see them leave 🤔
There are many other things, too- but then I would just be rambling
Any chance you know where someone could get one of the art books? Struggling to find a copy for sale sadly
@@alayakow1037 I believe I got mine on Amazon
@@angelsquid9756 I'm curious to know what those ramblings are
Sooooo we're not even gonna mention the "the unknown is the afterlife, but not (just) for people, but for stories" theory?
I’m so happy I found this absolute gem of a channel
Learned a ton! Awesome video
Over the Garden Wall... in this day and age?? On my feed?? Sign me up.
Well fuck, now I've got to watch this show.
Nice man I was looking for something good to watch, perfect timing I’ve been watching all your content and I’m stoked that your still pushing out entertaining stuff man
aaaaa i love over the garden wall so much thank u for making this!!
another theory on this show is Greg's wish. most people initially believed Greg's wish was to take Wirt's place in becoming an Adelwood tree. another theory on this is that Greg wished to go back for a do-over starting in episode 1. there's a great video on this here on youtube, my apologies for forgetting the name. It would explain how Greg had an intuition for the unknown and how things would play out.
At 16:00 its also cool to mention the song, Old Black Train. Ole black train has been a western/cowboy phrase for the journey of death. The song, in the show, only plays part of it, but the whole song of Old Black train lists the journey of life, the graveyard, the engineer and conductor, and finally when you reach the end. Its a really good song.
What a perfect video to listen to while I start my Halloween costume 🖤
Doktor Skipper, some truly underrated content. This was really enjoyable to watch. I'm looking forward to start re-watching OTGW soon when October comes:)
The original idea of over the garden wall kind of reminds me to infinity train, another Cartoon Network miniseries with the concept of a train that works like therapy, it is a really good show and kind of reminds me to over the garden wall, not because of the vibe or story but because of the dark topics and scenes the show involves.
I feel like with how Greg acts I could see him having a near-death experience once before
I miss you doing these kinds of videos, but I'm glad to see your channel grow. Congrats n Keep doing what makes you happy!
this was a fun video, very interesting!
I think the what's her bucket was actually collecting, cooking, and eating the Turtles to limit the beasts influence. At the end of the episode she's actually a good person whose trying to keep her sister from eating people. Also the beast has the same eyes as the dog creature that ate the Turtle and became a black wolf lookalike.
I can't believe that Warts shoes weren't mentioned in one of the top layers! It always bothered me that his shoes were mismatched and I've always wondered why
That's answered in a comic series that fleshes things out a bit in between episodes.

Here's a link to the issue that has that in there!

I'll have to correct you here. THE wendigo. Not a wendigo. People often conflate skinwalkers and wendigos. Skinwalkers are essentially the native American version of witches, which there are many. They are aligned with / possessed by THE Wendigo, which is a satan-esque figure. The mythos is rather complicated and most of the people who are in the know (elders) do not like to talk about them, but that is the very simplistic rundown. In many ways the woodsman is like a skin walker with the beast being the wendigo living in his shadow and getting him to do his bidding. The only reason I am leaving this comment is because I am of the belief that The Wendigo holds no power over me and so I can speak of him all I want, I am not afraid of the devil in the wood and I think this is the underlying message of over the garden wall.
